Taxonomies

Every organisation uses its terms and definitions, even for general concepts. We use taxonomies to achieve standardised, comparable reports and unambiguous data exchange. These contain reporting guidelines and a dictionary of terms.

Taxonomies allow you to file uniform annual accounts with the Chamber of Commerce. You can also use them to create reliable and comparable sustainability reports.

These taxonomies are developed based on the public XBRL standard (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) to enable the structured sharing of business information.

Complete end-to-end development and management of taxonomies: from functional analysis to publication.

Development of taxonomies according to the agreements of the Dutch Taxonomy (NT). This development and publication takes place in three phases: alpha, beta, and final.

We offer a fully automated system-to-system solution or a practical input portal. This is very useful when you receive data from organisations that report less frequently or do so manually.

A Q&A with Aimée Latuheru

Applying Taxonomies in Sustainability Reporting

Anyone that has compiled information for a sustainability report knows that it’s a work-intensive process. Some companies decide to forgo sustainability reporting altogether, in part because it’s difficult to do. However, with the EU’s Non-financial reporting directive - which came into effect in 2018 - and public concerns over climate change increasing, failing to report on your sustainability targets is no longer an option.
